Dear friends, I would like to share with you one of my poems. My daughter Anna helped me to translate it. If you find any mistakes, please correct me :)

***

Words left unsaid,

pile up on your lips,

searching for a way out…

 

Feelings left unexpressed

pile up in your chest

locking your heart with a key…

 

Thoughts left unfinished

fall

like hurt birds fall from the sky…

 

The night is coming,

silent and dark

the answers begin to show…

  

I free my thoughts

Like birds from a cage,

I let them fly above

With wings of love

From the high

They look for an oasis,

Amongst the dry desert –

The desert of passiveness…

 

I let my feelings grow like flowers,

Creating beautiful gardens

Where anybody can find shelter

Anybody - who is looking for a chill…

 

Words are dancing,

                            happily skipping

                                                    beating the rhythm

meeting in a conversation with you

                                                       creating poems
